The Kettering School Sport Partnership is the local deliverer of the Youth Sport Trust's commitment to enable every young person aged 5-16year to have access to five hours of PE and sport per week, and three hours for young people aged 16yrs-19yrs), and is based at Southfield Sports College for Girls.

The partnership works with 45 local schools/colleges , including secondary, primary, infant , special schools, and Tresham College, to make PE and Sport more accessible, attractive, affordable and appropriate to the needs of our young people. For 5-16 year olds the expectation is that schools provide three of the five hours through high quality PE and at least one hour a week beyond the curriculum on a school site. 

For 16-19years the partnership links 6th forms and colleges to community groups and clubs to develop a weekly three hour offer to all students to participate in sport.

As part of this school/college offer, young people should have access to regular competitive opportuntities, coaching to develop their skills and enjoyment, a choice of different sports, pathways to club and elite sport, and opportunties to lead and volunteer in sport.
